I hate to be contrary, but research has shown that the .009s blow 
capacitance within 3dBs of peak irradiation when pushing 40v over and 
30v under for over 20 minutes or so--you know, the length of a short 
set. I would stick with .0085 (but, of course go counter-clockwise). 
Isn't that what Brian May did with his AC30s?

In other news -- has anybody heard the Dungen album Ta Det Lugnt ? I 
keep hearing great things about it.

Also, New Jersey musician Tris McCall has an annual year end best/worst 
poll, which I always get a kick out of. You can send in your picks and 
pans at his website, if interested. I voted Tom for best guitar, since 
they did play this last year, it's fair play.

Finally, Happy New Year to all y'all. Now, I can go back to my lurking 
since I've gotten in my annual-or-so posting to the list.
